Default pesky prop nut

Hey,
Im having some issues with my Ripper's prop nut for the 15fx. What the problem is that the prop nut keeps on comming loose no matter how much i torque down on it. What it is that the threads on the nut is in the same direction the motor spins so when i come to start it with my starter is loosens it up a little, then after a bit the propeller will just spin freely. I kinda dont want a propeller spinning near 7k rpm come flying off and hitting someone in the pits. Could I add loc-tite to the threads and keep it from comming loose? Or maybe a lock washer? What are some of your sugestions?
